a tight fit. Loose end links of the tire chain must
be secured or removed to prevent the possibility
of whipping action damage to the fenders or
underbody. If possible, avoid fully loading your
vehicle when using tire chains. In addition, drive
at a reduced speed. Otherwise, your vehicle may
be damaged and/or vehicle handling and
performance may be adversely affected.

Tire chains must be installed only on the
front wheels and not on the rear wheels.

Never install tire chains on a TEMPORARY USE
ONLY spare tire.

Do not use tire chains on dry roads. Driving with
tire chains in such conditions can cause damage
to the various mechanisms of the vehicle due to
some overstress.

CHANGING WHEELS AND TIRES

Tire rotation

NISSAN recommends rotating the tires
every 5,000 miles (8,000 km). (See “Flat
tire” (P.6-3) for tire replacing procedures.)

As soon as possible, tighten the wheel
nuts to the specified torque with a
torque wrench.

Wheel nut tightening torque:

80 ft-lb (108 N·m)

The wheel nuts must be kept tigh-
tened to the specification at all times.

It is recommended that wheel nuts be
tightened to the specification at each
tire rotation interval.

WARNING

.

After rotating the tires, check
and adjust the tire pressure.

.

Retighten the wheel nuts when
the vehicle has been driven for
600 miles (1,000 km) (also in
cases of a flat tire, etc.).

.

Do not include the spare tire or
any other small size spare tire in
the tire rotation.
